* About S-Force PRO Front Surround
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround technology (and the 
vast amounts of acoustic data accumulated as a result) has led 
to the development of all-new processing method and 
advanced DSP to handle this task effectively, which we call S-
Force PRO Front Surround. Compared with previous front 
surround technologies, S-Force PRO Front Surround 
reproduces a more convincing sense of distance and space, 
resulting in a true surround sound experience without the need 
for rear speakers.
Notes
• When the system receives signals other than Super Audio 
CD, the default sound field setting is FRONT 
SURROUND.
• When using headphones, the sound field is HP 2CH 
regardless of source.
• The sound field for Super Audio CDs is 2CH STEREO 
only. 
• The surround effect might be difficult to hear depending 
on the type of source signals (e.g., digital stereo signals, 
digital multi signals, etc.) except for DVD multi-channel 
signals.
• When the selected input is other than Super Audio CD, 
you can change the sound field setting.
With cover opened.
